I joined this forum a few months back and one of the many things I've learned so far is that many cigar aficionados store their cigars in ugly Tupperware. The desk top humidor is more for show than anything else. I recently increased my cigar inventory so I decided to try Tupperware since I have always struggled with keeping my desk top humidor steady.
I bought two Tupperware containers and have about 30 sticks in each. I was planning on using kitty litter to stabilize them (another thing I learned here) but it has been a month and the RH has been rock solid without any humidity control in the Tupperware. The RH in my house is around 40% so that is quite amazing. I open the Tupperdors about once a week to gaze upon my lovelies, and I always blow a lung full of moist breath into the Tupperdor before closing it to counteract the dry air that gets in when I open it.
I know I will need to put in kitty litter but I am amazed at how well the Tupperware maintains the RH. It seems the air tight seal is the most critical aspect.
